After 136 years the identity of Jack the Ripper is set to be revealed in a new show at The Astor Theatre in Deal on March 27th.

An Evening with Jack the Rippe, written and hosted by Steve Morgan, will journey into the sordid realms of Victorian London to retrace the footsteps of the victims and follow the trail of a killer. A path that will ultimately lead to the unmasking of the man who cast the darkest of shadows over the east end of London in 1888.

Steve Morgan says: “Despite whatever you may have seen in the media recently, the DNA supposedly found on an item clothing belonging to a victim has been rejected by members of the scientific community. It's not the smoking gun people believed it to be.

"But I'm convinced that by the end of this show the audience will have stared into the eyes of Jack the Ripper. The only people to have previously done so were his victims. This time however, the audience will live to tell the tale.”
